# The File Menu

Like most applications, file operations are performed from the file menu:

- New File: Create a brand-new, empty GnuCash file. If you have unsaved work, GnuCash will ask you if you wish to save it.

- Open: Retrieve an existing GnuCash file.

- Save: Save your current GnuCash data to disk under its current name.

- Save as: Save the current data under a new name.

- Export Accounts : Export your account structure, without any transactions. Useful for making templates for others, or as a simple, but still useful way to close out books.

- Import QIF: Import QIF data files.

- New Account Tree: A shortcut to create many of the common accounts used by households.

- Short cuts to previously opened files: the previous four or so GnuCash files you have opened will appear. Select them to open.

- Move to New Window: create a new top-level window. See here for more details.

- Close This Window: Close this top-level window, leaving others open. See here for more details.

- Exit GnuCash: Close all windows and exit. GnuCash will prompt you to save the file, if there have been any changes since the last save.
